Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani will pick up the endorsement Friday of former GOP rival Tommy Thompson, a one-time Midwestern state governor. "Rudy Giuliani has shown that he is a true leader. He can and will win the nomination and the presidency. He is America's mayor, and during a period of time of great stress for this country he showed tremendous leadership," Thompson, the former Wisconsin governor, said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press. The former New York mayor is to accept the endorsement in South Carolina later Friday. Thompson is the first former 2008 Republican presidential candidate...

You guys should check this group out. I met one of their members out in Ohio working with a congressional candidate.

It is going to be taking a close look at Ron Kind, and I hope will help defeat him in 2006. I am also looking for help in gathering material for it. Here it is

2004 US Senate Elections These are the states I am watching: Florida: I believe that Martinez will help Bush here. I think Cubans that are having doubts about Bush will support him when they vote for Martinez. I think most Hispanics would like to have Martinez representing them and that will push him past Castor. Castor comes off very old and too loyal to the “party.” And she is in real trouble when she has to explain about how she handled the “terrorist professor” when she was the president of USF. She has been around in politics for over ten...

Gannett Fails One-Newspaper Communities/Counties- Port Huron Times Herald a Queue for Government Intervention? In particular, with today’s concentration of all reporting medium with just a few companies- who determines the void or lack of reporting in the best interest to citizens. I’ve challenged a Gannett newspaper, the Times Herald of Port Huron Michigan of its obligation citizens in one-newspaper counties. There appears to be an immediate need to make certain legislation be brought requiring corporate newspapers to better report news and serving the communities they cover. At a crucial time with the 2004 Primary literally days away- this particular newspaper,...

Very few citizens asked have no idea of what that word means. Folks, the bottom line is we’ve had some major problems in this antiquated, 50-person staffed office and they’re just coming public.

I just got back last week from driving across the country, I live in Washington State and drove to PA in see my wifes family and took I-80 and I-90 back home. With my Bush/Cheney sticker from 2000 in my back window along with my W-04 sticker I got a aproviel rating of about 75% judging from the honks and thumbs ups from fellow drivers. Funny how I got the 1 finger salute from the folks with the Kerry stickers. My question to you is do you vent your hate and anger at fellow drivers on the road with a...

Last night, I was told that a report was recently published by some DC think-tank. This report ranked members of congress in order of taxpayer-friendliness, i.e. it examined their votes on tax-related bills and determined where any particular member of congress came in on higher or lower taxes for their constituents. The same person who told me about the report told me that a whopping 75% of house and senate members from my state were in the top 20 LEAST friendly to taxpayers in their voting records. Have any of you heard of this report? Can you point me to...

I've seen the senate races heating up, but not nearly as much on the house seats. I'm mostly using information from DC POLITICAL REPORT and POLITICS1. STATES Alabama DISTRICT 3 - The other Mike Rogers (R) won in 02 with 50.3% over Democrat Joe Turnham(48.2%) in an open seat. So far, it looks as he is facing Democrat Bill Fuller, Ex-State Human Resources Commissioner. I haven't heard much about this race, but the first defense is hardest. Alaska SENATE - Lisa Murkowski(R) vs Ex governor Tony Knowles. This will be a tough race as Knowles is an ex-governor and Murkowski...

A Race For Wisconsin's 4th District? You may remember that in January Congressman Jerry Kleczka decided not to run for his 11th term. He's a staunch liberal Democrat who has represented Wisconsin's 4th district for the last 20 years. The 4th District consists of the city of Milwaukee and a few of the suburbs. It was widely believed by most, including me, that this seat is a solid Democratic seat, but that belief may be unfounded. The Republican candidate who is running for this seat is Corey Hoze. He is a lifetime Milwaukee resident who has worked both in government...

DARROW TOPS $2.27 MILLION MARK IN RACE TO UNSEAT FEINGOLD Darrow Campaign Almost Doubles Number of Donors WAUKESHA, WI – United States Senate Candidate Russ Darrow released an unofficial estimate today that his campaign will report raising more than $2.27 million on his March 31 FEC report. Of that amount, Darrow will report raising an estimated $1.26 million from individuals, with more than $300,000 raised from individuals in the first quarter of this year alone. “My commitment to creating jobs, fighting for lower taxes, keeping our borders secure and making our health care more affordable is resonating with the voters...

"State and local tax officials are salivating at the prospect of sinking their fangs into the Internet, one of the last remaining outlets of tax freedom in this country," Adam Thierer, director of telecommunications studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, told UPI. No one knows for sure which type of bill will emerge -- a permanent moratorium or a temporary one -- or whether it will all Internet access tax-free. The White House backs a permanent ban on taxes, and the issue might become more politicized during this year's election campaign involving President George W....

Journalists, political pundits and other Hysteric Left activists are desperately trying to spin some cosmic significance out of Sunday's Spanish elections. The "conventional wisdom" is that the Spanish Election results are some sort of significant defeat for President Bush and the War on Terror. As usual the "News Media's" thinking is neither conventional nor wise. What all the various activists miss is the reality of American Exceptionalism. As much as the International Political Left hates, and try's to deny, the reality is the USA operates on a completely different political level then the rest of the world. On Sunday, the...

The reason for my apology was that throughout this primary season we have been hearing about the record turnout of voters participating in Democrat caucuses and primaries. I bought the lie. The truth is that, except for Iowa and New Hampshire, there has not been any sort of record turnout for the Democrats. Even in New Hampshire the vote was far less than what the Republicans had when they last had a contested primary in 2000. The Democrats this year had 219,787 votes in their primary. The GOP in 2000 had 239,523 votes. That 20,000 difference is major in a...

The Wisconsin Right to Life Political Action Committee endorsed three of the four Republicans seeking to unseat U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) without expressing a clear preference for any of the three. The committee endorsed state Sen. Bob Welch, car dealer Russ Darrow and Oconomowoc businessman Tim Michels over Feingold, but did not mention the fourth Republican, Robert Gerald Lorge, a lawyer from Bear Creek. Lorge, who ran an unsuccessful campaign for secretary of state in 2002, announced his candidacy after the other three Republicans. The political action committee for Wisconsin Right to Life also endorsed President Bush in his...

http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/6/121052.shtml Well isn't this intresting. The "objective news media" supposed 9-11 surviors protesting Bush's ads are actually anti-war stooges financed by John Kerry's wife. Please take a moment and vist the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC etc to email the Omsbudsman, the Publisher, the News Editor and demand to know why they allowed clearly partisan advocates of Kerry's Presidential Campaign were presented on their "News" programs with no reference to their ties to the Kerry camp. We absolutely must demand the "News Media" be held accountable for their free advertising for the Kerry camp.

http://www.georgewbush.com/tvads/ Here is a link to the 1st three Bush Re-election ads. As expected the DNC directed its "Objective News Media" mouthpieces at CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC to generate phoney hysteria about these ads. Compared to the demogagery and lies spread by the Kerry Campaign, Moveon.org and the DNC about Bush for the last 6 months, this is probably the mildest sets of ads that have run so far this political season. Please email this link to every person on you email contact list. We need to get as many people as possible to see these ads. They are...

WAUKESHA COUNTY EXECUTIVE DAN FINLEY ENDORSES RUSS DARROW FOR U.S. SENATE WAUKESHA, WI – This morning Waukesha County Executive Dan Finley endorsed Republican Russ Darrow in his race for the United States Senate. “The people of Waukesha County need a U.S. Senator who will focus on creating more meaningful jobs here in Wisconsin,” said Finley. “Russ Darrow has spent the last thirty-eight years of his life building a business from scratch into one of the largest auto dealerships in the state that currently employees 950 people. That is the job creation experience that the working families of Wisconsin need in...

Conservatives should write in Tom Tancredo in the primary ballot to demonstrate the depth of concern we have with the President. If enough do this, he will get the message.

Kleczka won't run again Decision certain to create election free-for-all By DAVE UMHOEFER dumhoefer@journalsentinel.com Posted: Jan. 24, 2004 Just shy of 20 years on the job, Milwaukee congressman Jerry Kleczka is contacting friends today with a stunning message: He's calling it quits at year's end.

MADISON - Millionaire car salesman Russ Darrow raised $1.38 million last year for his U.S. Senate bid, including $475,000 in the fourth quarter alone, according to campaign finance reports Darrow released Saturday. Darrow got $442,257 in contributions from individuals between October and the end of the year, according to the reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. He took $20,000 from political action committees and gave himself $12,843. He had $1.12 million in the bank at the end of the year. Darrow is one of a trio of Republican candidates vying to challenge incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold in November. He...

WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold says he’ll fight a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage this year, while two of his would-be GOP challengers support the proposal. Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat facing re-election this fall, calls the amendment an ‘‘abuse’’ of the Constitution. Most members of the state’s congressional delegation, regardless of party, also oppose it. Republican Senate candidates Tim Michels and Bob Welch support the amendment, while the third candidate, Russ Darrow, said he’s undecided. The amendment by Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo., defines marriage as a union of a man and woman, and prohibits both the state and...

Help from the bullpen Now that he has a whole lot of time on his hands, ousted Milwaukee Brewers President Ulice Payne Jr. has found something new to promote: The mayoral candidacy of Sheriff David Clarke Jr. Payne, who has been keeping a low public profile since his soap-opera dismissal as boss of the Brew Crew, will emcee a Clarke fund-raiser next week. The campaign hopes this gala at the Italian Community Center, featuring ex-congressman J.C. Watts, will be a biggie, as some 10,000 invitations were sent out. The minimum donation is $25, though fat cats who cough up a...

Conventional wisdom is right - it's a three-way race for Milwaukee mayor. Tom Barrett. David Clarke. Undecided. A new poll paid for by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce found that 29% of city voters plan to vote for Barrett, a longtime north side congressman and failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate. Another 24% said they'll go for Clarke, the county sheriff who went from being just another cop to a conservative media darling in less than two years.

ELECTION 2000 (and what needs to be made up for 04) Right now, I’m assuming the dem nominee is Kerry, Graham, Dean, Edwards, or Gephardt. I expect Lieberman to lose badly in the primary since he’s too ‘conservative’. Sharpton, Mosely-Braun, and Dennis the Menace are jokes. One never won a race. One even lost in Illinois. One wrecked Cleveland. Wesley Clark is an interesting candidate, and could make things interesting. I don’t care what any poll says right now, things will tighten up by 04. It ALWAYS does. We also got to play ball like we are trailing. States Bush...

City of Pewaukee ­- A year ago today Margaret Farrow moved into the newly remodeled lieutenant governor's office in Madison. But Wisconsin's first female to fill the No. 2 position in state government vowed earlier this year that her 27-year political career had come to an end when Barbara Lawton was elected to succeed her last November. Nevertheless, after being encouraged to oppose U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, who is up for election next year, she said she might invoke a woman's prerogative to change her mind. "I am leaving the door open a crack," she said this week when asked...

Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold may have another tight race for re-election ahead next year, the latest Badger Poll shows. While Wisconsin residents gave Feingold generally positive performance ratings - on par with the state's senior senator, Herb Kohl - residents aren't as convinced that he should win a third six-year term. The poll, sponsored by The Capital Times and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, found that 45 percent believe Feingold is doing a good or excellent job. Forty percent rated Feingold's performance as fair or poor. Those ratings are down slightly from February, when 48 percent gave Feingold the highest...

State GOP Chairman Rick Graber knows how to get the attention of White House political gurus. Just introduce them to an African-American elected official with a conservative agenda and a bright political future - even if the guy's technically a Democrat. At Graber's behest, Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. spent 45 minutes or so on Jan. 31 in a private White House breakfast meeting with Ken Mehlman, President Bush's political director, and assorted operatives. The Bush team made time for the sheriff even as it was gearing up for the war with Iraq. Then, just last month, Clarke returned for...

I didn't know a lot about this candidate until I found a flyer on my windshield at work. Since I work in a union shop, I expected to find the usual "vote for I. B. Sleaze so we can tax the evil rich to death" propaganda. But no! Instead, the grassroots candidate (he beat out Walt Locito in the primary!) for the GOP has been getting out the word. His platform reminds me of former Governor Tommy Thompson's tactics. He's co-opting issues and leaving no platform for the Dems to stand on. Also, he's not fallen into the smear ad...

Ron Greer for Congress Ron Greer is not your typical candidate for Congress and neither is his opponent. Nowhere in the nation is there a race where the choice is so clear cut between conservatism and radical liberalism. Ron Greer, a proud African-American is also a proud solid social and fiscal conservative with charisma. His opponent, Tammy Baldwin, is from the most extreme left wing of the Democratic party. She proclaims as one of her greatest accomplishments being "the first out lesbian ever elected to the United States Congress." Ron Greer knows no fear when it comes to challenging the political...

Re: Your Favorite Presidential Candidate (GOP)? davidd on Friday, August 02 @ 13:08:08 MDT Tom Tancredo is one of the most patriotic members of Congress.

Tom Tancredo is 100% opposed to illegal immigration and he understands the damage that it is doing to the U.S. President Bush is in favor of illegal immigration and he is not carrying out his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and to protect the U.S. from invasion of huge masses of illegal aliens.
